Good to see you again!
I have blacklisted 888 over this, and they have done considerable work to clean this up.
Currently I have blacklisted Cpays over it, and they did react by including the google guidelines in their
SEO contest.
Our best bet IMO is to cut off the money supply to the spammers. They only spam because someone is paying them to do it.
But Mojo's idea of adding a page to our sites educating surfers about spam sites is also a good one.
We could easily link to one another's pages and just including some major sites in this will pull these pages way up in the SERPS. We saw this happen with the blacklisting of 888.
We really don't have to be helpless and hapless victims here, together we are considerably stronger than the Blackhatters.
We could dominate the keyword "blackhat
SEO" etc. with educational pages about why this is bad. Someone looking to hire blackhats would see this first, maybe read and be influenced, maybe be influenced by the fact that the BH guys cannot dominate their own terms.
If we really wanted to, we could make a difference.
For those at GPWA who remember me, I guess I haven't changed much.
